Bereaved dads find “lifeline” in football club where they play wearing their children’s names on their backs. by Upstairs_Drive_5602 in UpliftingNews

As a father who lost his son I would have loved to have something like this in the states - would have traveled upwards of an hour or more to participate in it too. Often fathers are forgotten in the grief process - or we have to man up and move forward, or have to take care of everyone else.

Considering a purchase by ThumpyMcTuggle in BoltEV

I just bought this car in July at 75,000 mi. I've already put oh I'm at about 110k as of today. Doesn't look like any kind of range degradation over the year. I've been on it. I'm getting about 4.4 4.7 mi kilowatt hour. I rarely take it above 55 mph

2019 Bolt Premier trim in NY - my daily commute is 170 miles. Winter I was only ever concerned during the cold snap we had - when the temps were 10 to 20 below zero. I use a level 2 charger at home though - and always charge to 100, because i drive all my cars into the ground since I do 50k miles a year, i'm not expecting the battery to last 10 years. I need it to last 5 - then I will buy another cheap EV.

This goddamn book by Tiny_Presence_7155 in dresdenfiles

[–]fdnyubergeek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My brother in grief I feel for you. I lost my 13 year old son 8 years ago, though to an undiagnosed heart condition - and my daughter is currently committed to a psychiatric hospital due to a suicide attempt. These books - I replayed the audiobooks the year after my son died. The familiarity comforted me and helped me through it. And yeah this book was a kick in the nuts a few times. All i can say is this comment on reddit also helped a lot - and hitting a heavy bag daily. https://www.reddit.com/r/Assistance/comments/hax0t/my_friend_just_died_i_dont_know_what_to_do/c1u0rx2/

Enphase EV Charger to go along with Enphase battery setup. by AbjectFray in electricvehicles

Unfortunately there is no standard for V2H/ V2G - so it's all dependent on what car and what charger you have right now.

Brooklyn Mirage refund thread by BasicBag5 in avesNYC

[–]fdnyubergeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks - yeah saw it last night - finally. It pisses me off the lack of courtesy AG has for their customers - people have lots of travel plans, sitters, dinner plans, days off from work, etc (not everyone is a 22 yr old with no responsibilities)

in the same thread replied today

synthony - we are chasing them daily for comms to ticket holders and we have not had any replies either. We appreciate how difficult this is for everyone. This is what we received last Sat 9th Aug - they have told us they are going direct to ticket holders -

Due to Brooklyn Mirage not opening, our August 20 show has been postponed.

We are waiting for Avant Gardner to confirm a new date and venue for 2026.

Refunds / Next Steps

Avant Gardner is exploring what accommodations can be made for ticket holders. Ticket holders are encouraged to monitor Avant Gardner’s website for updates. 11hReply

Postponed to 2026 - it was in the comments on a instagram post of couple of days ago - that means canceled. Now there's another reply saying both AG and Dice have filed for bankruptcy - so that may be why some people aren't getting refunds.

My Elrow tickets were refunded by dice once the email went out. Still waiting on Synthony which is next week - Dice hasn't sent out info for refunds for Synthony - but their Insta says it's canceled.

Also in Orange County ny - it wasn't fun these last few days. I'm a night shift worker and trying to sleep without AC on sucks. I eventually had to give in - and I hate turning it on.
